First of all you shouldn't alter the site module ever! The optional
sitecustomize module exists to make global changes.

A library must never change the current working directory. It's up to
the application to choose the right working directory. If you mess with
the working directory in a library or global module like site you *will*
break applications. Python has multiple ways to modify the list of
importable locations, either globally, for the current user or the
current application. Use them wisely!
